Because of this thread I ordered that book direct from Countryvise on Friday, I think, and it arrived the next day. Excellent service and a very interesting book imho. Thanks for putting it up derekdwc.

looking at the picture there seems to be a street between the buildings which if you look at the map puts the pub doorway as where you waited on your first date
